The
Law of Nationality
According to Article 30 of the Mexican Constitution,
“Mexican nationality is acquired by birth or by
naturalization.”
MEXICANS
BY BIRTH ARE:
·
“Those that
are born in the territory of the Republic, whatever the
nationality of their parents.”
·
“Those born
outside Mexican territory of one or both parents that
were born in Mexico. “
·
“Anyone born
outside of Mexico of one or both parents that are
naturalized Mexicans”
·
“Those born
on board Mexican ships or aircraft.”
This
means that anyone born in Mexico has Mexican nationality
by the simple act of being born in Mexican territory.
Anyone who has one or both parents born in Mexico is a
Mexican national. There is a simple procedure for
verifying this nationality. Anyone born in the U.S. that
has at least one Mexican parent has dual nationality in
Mexico.
According to Art. 37 of the Constitution, a Mexican
cannot lose his nationality. This is part of the reforms
of 1998 that permit dual nationality. Anyone that
renounced his Mexican nationality to acquire another
nationality can recover it, because he no longer can
lose it.
